Thank you very much, and good afternoon to those in Europe, and good morning to those that are attending our meeting today. Welcome to our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Quanterix Corporation. As was noted, I'm the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with the notice of the meeting, I call the meeting to order. We are holding this year's meeting virtually due to the public health concerns and to prioritize the health and well-being of our meeting participants. We hope that this virtual meeting will maximize participation of stockholders regardless of their location, and we would like to thank those who are participating today. Prior to the commencement of the meeting, more than 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock were present and in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, representing a quorum. I would like to express my appreciation to all stockholders who returned the proxies. The first matter to be acted upon at the meeting is the election of 2 directors: Martin Madaus and Laurie Olson, each of whom have been duly nominated to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024. Quanterix has not received timely notice of any other nominations as required under the bylaws. If there are any questions pertaining to this proposal, please submit those online now.

The next and final matter being voted on is the ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP by our Audit Committee as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. If there are any questions pertaining to this proposal, please submit those online now. If you have not voted or wish to change your vote, you may do so by clicking on the link provided online.

Great. The online voting will now be closed. I have been informed by the inspector of elections that based on the preliminary count of the ballots, both nominees for director have been duly elected and that the appointment of Ernst & Young to audit Quanterix's financial statements has been duly ratified. We will file the official results on Form 8-K with the SEC within the next few days. I would again like to express my sincere appreciation to those stockholders who participated in today's meeting as well as those who submitted their proxies. The meeting is now formally adjourned. However, we are available to discuss questions which any of you may have. [Operator Instructions]. I've just been informed that we have no questions. And so given that there are no further questions, so on behalf of Quanterix, I thank you for your support. And we'll talk with you after our second quarter results at our earnings call. Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
